Reproducible. Reassigned.
I think that this is a font problem. Currently the PDF importer does not properly display fonts unless they are installed on the system. Fonts embedded in the document are not supported. You may want to check with pl to confirm that this is the problem here.
The font name gets extracted and set as an attribute on the imported ODF file. However since ODF does not support embedded fonts, the original fonts from the PDF file cannot be imported, so fonts of the same name will have to be on the target system to achieve good results.
